Swim Jig Trailers And Fishing
Paddletail trailers. I use Keitech Swing Impact, but they are awful expensive, and Big Bite Baits Cane Thumper. Poorboys Kickin' Darter is another one I have used but they are good for only one or two fish. As far as tackle, 10-12lb flouro spooled on the baitcaster. 7' MH-F rod. They are a killer prespawn bait

No More Twinkies...
The company was run poorly. This is not the first time they had financial issues. Everyone likes to blame unions for higher cost because we have become a disposable society. Why is it acceptable to spend $300. on a cell phone which won't last the 2 years the contract is for, but to spend $300 to have your heat fixed when it's 10 degrees outside is an ungoldy amount of money. America has become a WalMart state. The cost of everything has gone up in America, but if someone has to pay more than .99 for the Twinkie, they'll take a pass. Maybe they should have gone the way of Frito Lay. Raise prices, same package, less volume. They should have shrunk Twinkies to the size of a human thumb, or more cream than cake, or whatever. Maybe a 1/2 gal of ice cream which is now 1/3 of a gal for a similar price. Heres what happens now. The company gets bought out. The new owners may close some bakeries but my money says most will stay open. The same employees will be working at "New Hostess". Maybe unionized, probably not. I don't know if the union had an influence on the quality of the cakes. It does in fact have an influence on the quality of workmanship in the trades. There are way too many hacks out there. The education and continuing education we receive is second to none. If I told you the things I've seen hacked in restaurants you'd never eat out again. I'm a proud Local 597 Pipefitter Public unions are a different animal alltogether. I choose not to comment on a public forum

Funny Anecdote From The Lake...
You should be more sensitive to morons. My son used to work at a local marina. He had a hard time understanding how he and I could have the boat launched in under a minute and there are people who spend 1/2 hour or more loading and unloading. Don't tell anyone. When I first became a boat owner a number of years ago, I attempted to launch the boat. Put the drain plug in but forgot to undo the tiedown straps. Slipped my mind. The boat, trailer, and back end of my rear wheel drive truck were floating. I couldn't get out of the truck because if I took my foot off the brake we'd float away. There was a guy who happened to have a tow strap who helped tow me out. I learn from my mistakes and it has never happened again.

What's Your Thanksgiving Day Tradition?
Go to my sisters house. Watch football. 1 smoked turkey and 1 deep fried. Mess with my brothers wife until she won't speak to me. Corrupt my sisters friends son until his mother won't speak to me(I don't care for her one bit. Best part about it is she yells at her husband for my actions). Corrupt my neice until my sister won't speak to me, followed by my mother saying "Why are you like this? You didn't get it from me." "No, Mom. I got it from Pa(my grandfather). Mess with my nephew who is autistic. Drives me crazy because he ignores me(The ONLY person that I can't get under his skin) Watch a "play" the kids put on. Go to the ol' ladies house and start all over again.

Seaguar Invisx
The Invisx gets chewed up way too easy from the zebra mussels. It's to a point where I'm retying every dozen casts. I prefer the Abrazx

Jokes - Let's Have Some Fun
Cletus is passing by Billy Bob's hay barn one day when, through a gap in the door, he sees Billy Bob doing a slow and sensual striptease in front of an old green John Deere. Buttocks clenched, he performs a slow pirouette, and gently slides off first the right strap of his overalls, followed by the left. He then hunches his shoulders forward and in a classic striptease move, lets his overalls fall down to his hips, revealing a torn and frayed plaid shirt. Then, grabbing both sides of his shirt, he rips it apart to reveal his stained T-shirt underneath. With a final flourish, he tears the T-shirt from his body, and hurls his baseball cap onto a pile of hay. Having seen enough, Cletus rushes in and says, "What the world're ya doing, Billy Bob?" "Good grief, Cletus, ya scared the bejeebers out of me," says an obviously embarrassed Billy Bob. "But me 'n the wife been havin trouble lately in the bedroom d'partment, and the therapist suggested I do something sexy to a tractor."

Jokes - Let's Have Some Fun
A new Marine Captain was assigned to an outfit in a remote post in the Afghanistan Desert . During his first inspection of the outfit, he noticed a Camel hitched up behind the mess tent. He asks the Sergeant why the camel is kept there. The nervous sergeant said, 'Well sir, as you know, there are 250 men here on the post and no women. And sir, sometimes the men have 'urges'. That's why we have Molly The Camel.' The Captain says, 'I can't say that I condone this, but I understand about 'urges', so the camel can stay.' About a month later, the Captain starts having his own 'urges'. Crazy with passion, he asks the Sergeant to bring the camel to his tent. Putting a ladder behind the camel, the Captain stands on the ladder, pulls his pants down and has wild, insane sex with the camel. When he's done, he asks the Sergeant,'Is that how the men do it?' 'Not really, sir..They usually just ride the camel into town...... where the girls are.'
